According to John Hamer, the Masonic ritual murder of four prostitutes was carried out by Winston Churchill's father, Lord Randolph Spencer Churchill, 1849-1895. The prostitutes were blackmailing the royal family.

John Hamer, 59, has a horse-racing business in Yorkshire. This is an excerpt from his book, 'The Falsification of History - Our Distorted Reality' which will be published in mid 2012.
"Churchill was not only the 'brains' behind the entire operation, but he was also personally responsible for the cutting of Masonic emblems and symbols into the bodies of the victims, whilst William Gull's surgeon's hands performed the organ removals."
The story begins in the late summer of 1888, the heyday of Queen Victoria's reign, in the gas-lit streets of London, when a woman's horrifically mutilated body was discovered in a tawdry slum street in the Whitechapel area of east London....
On the evening of the 31st August 1888 the body of Mary Ann Nicholls, a common prostitute, was found prostrate on a pavement. She had been brutally hacked to death, her throat having been slit. Devastating cuts to her torso exposed her internal organs. She was the first of five victims of the now legendary killer 'Jack the Ripper'.
The so-called 'Ripper' murders came under the jurisdiction of the London Metropolitan Police Force and in particular an Inspector by the name of Frederick George Abberline.
It is important to note that the diaries of Frederick Abberline did not see light of day until around 70 years after the unsolved murders. They were in the possession of Walter Sickert, art tutor to Prince Albert Victor, the Duke of Clarence otherwise known by his colloquial name of 'Prince Eddy'.
Eddy was the eldest son of Albert Edward the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) and Princess Alexandra (later Queen Alexandra), the grandson of the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria and older brother of the future king of England, King George V and as such would have been first in line to the throne.
Unfortunately, due to centuries of Royal in-breeding, Eddy was partially deaf and of well below average intelligence and was thus shunned by the majority of his cold-hearted family.
Queen Victoria, the reigning monarch at the time was a great supporter and patron of Freemasonry as were all the Royal males of the age (and as they still are today). Indeed it was the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family (the current British royals) had sponsored the rise of Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Illuminati, originally a Freemasonry offshoot, in Bavaria in the 18th century. Weishaupt was indeed born and raised in the Bavarian town of Gotha.
There are several Masonic lodges in the Royal palaces of Britain, the most significant one perhaps being the Royal Alpha Lodge in Kensington Palace. In 1885 Prince Eddy was initiated into the Royal Alpha Lodge at the behest of his father.
PRINCE EDDY
As well as his membership of the lodge, Eddy was also a regular 'customer' at a homosexual-paedophile brothel in Cleveland Street, London and indiscreetly instigated a series of explicit love-letters with a young boy employed at these most vile of premises.
The well-known Satanist, Aleister Crowley had these letters in his possession for many years but eventually they were lost or more likely destroyed. Eddy had also made a young Catholic 'commoner' of Irish descent by the name of Annie Elizabeth Crook, pregnant with his child.
Eddy had foolishly married her in a clandestine church service and this in effect barred him from ever becoming king as British royals are not permitted to marry Catholics, let alone a commoner bearing an illegitimate child.
In 1883, Eddy's mother, Princess Alexandra, had asked the young painter Walter Sickert to introduce Eddy to the artistic and literary life of London.
Sickert's studio was at 15 Cleveland Street near to Tottenham Court Road in north London. He duly introduced the teenage Prince to many of the area's 'bohemian types', including the theatrical friends he had made when he had been a minor member of the Lyceum Company.
Sickert also introduced Eddy to one of his models, a pretty Irish Catholic girl, the afore-mentioned Annie Crook who lived nearby at 6 Cleveland Street and who worked by day in a local tobacconist's shop.
They fell for each other and, according to Sickert, went through two clandestine marriage ceremonies, one Anglican and one Catholic. Soon afterwards Annie became pregnant and her employer needed someone to fill in for her during her confinement.
Walter Sickert was asked if he knew anyone suitable and, after consulting friends, found a young girl called Mary Jean Kelly from the Providence Row Night Refuge for Women in Whitechapel.
For some months, Mary worked alongside Annie Crook in the shop and the two became friends. In due course, on the 18th April 1885, Annie gave birth to Eddy's daughter, Alice Margaret, in the Marylebone Workhouse.
When she returned home, her new friend Mary Kelly moved in as the child's nursemaid. Mary also worked as a prostitute in the evenings to supplement her meagre income.
Naturally, Eddy absolutely enraged the establishment with his 'illicit' marriage which threatened to spark a constitutional crisis of major proportions. So, as is always the case, the monarchy set in motion a huge cover-up operation.
Annie was kidnapped from the shop where she worked and at the same time Eddy was confined to Buckingham Palace.
Fortunately, fearing the worst, Annie had given the child, Alice to Walter Sickert for safekeeping shortly before she was forcefully taken to Guy's Hospital in London.
She remained there for five months and whilst she was there, Sir William Gull, the Queen's personal physician performed a partial frontal lobotomy on her, in effect rendering her docile and compliant and thus easily controlled by these inhuman monsters.
Certified insane by Gull, Annie lived for the rest of her life in institutions, spending her last days in the Lunacy Observation ward of St George's Union Workhouse, Chelsea and dying there in obscurity in early 1920 at the age of 57.
MARY KELLY'S BLACKMAIL
There the matter might have ended, but for Mary Kelly's greed. Back in Whitechapel, Mary had befriended three other local prostitutes to whom she boasted of her 'royal connections.' In the spring of 1888 the quartet hatched a plan to demand money from Walter Sickert, threatening to otherwise make the story public.
She had not fully comprehended the fact that not only was she in effect attempting to blackmail royalty but because of the Freemasonic connection she was also holding-to-ransom a group of psychopathic murderers who would literally stop at nothing and had the means to kill with impunity whilst enjoying the 'protection' of people in high places.
Sickert immediately passed word to Eddy who informed his father. The Prince of Wales discussed the threat in the greatest secrecy with trusted fellow Masons in the Royal Alpha Lodge. A special meeting was arranged at the Lodge by the Royal Masons known as the 'Princes of the Blood Royal.' They agreed to form a 'hunting party' to literally hunt-down and kill the hapless girls as punishment for their audacity and as a Masonic blood-sacrifice.
The 'hunting party' was drawn exclusively from the Royal Alpha Masonic Lodge and included Sir William Gull, Eddy's former Cambridge University tutor J. K. Stephen and Sir Charles Warren, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police (who took no active part in the killings but who helped facilitate the plot and expedite the cover-up.) To drive them about their sordid business, they recruited a coachman who had previously betrayed Prince Eddy's indiscretions to the Royals, one John Netley.
Warren provided information on the girls' whereabouts using his privileged position in the police force. Sir William Gull prepared grapes injected with opium, which would be offered to the victims to subdue them so that the dastardly deed could take place with a minimum of fuss.
It was arranged that John Netley, the coach driver and a particularly nasty character was to be the 'getaway driver.' The 'lookout' would be J.K. Stephen, a cousin of Virginia Woolf and another Freemason with royal links. The murders were planned to occur within Gull's carriage - away from prying eyes.
It should be noted that Abberline's diaries confirmed that the modus operandi was not that of one person only and that the murders were planned and performed according to Masonic ritual, similar to a fox-hunt. These are facts which were never allowed to come to light.
THE RING LEADER
So, who was the ringleader of this murderous gang? None other than the prominent Freemason, Secretary of State for India, the Leader of the House of Commons and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Randolph Spencer-Churchill, father of the future prime minister, Winston Churchill.
Churchill was not only the 'brains' behind the entire operation, but he was also personally responsible for the cutting of Masonic emblems and symbols into the bodies of the victims, whilst William Gull's skilled surgeon's hands of performed the organ removals.
The assassins set about discovering the blackmailers' whereabouts with 'insider' help from Warren and then systematically plotted their executions. The ritualistic, murderous spree began on the 31st August 1888 with Mary Ann Nicholls as their first victim and continued with the killing of Annie Chapman on the 8th September.
In turn each woman was lured inside the coach, then killed and mutilated in the ritualistic way that the three 'Juwes', Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum, the murderers of Hiram Abiff, were executed in the old Masonic legend. Their throats were 'cut across', their bodies torn open and their entrails 'thrown over' the left shoulder.
On the 30th September, there were two further killings but on that night things did not go smoothly. As the murderers were dumping that night's first victim, Lizzie Stride, in Berner Street, they were interrupted and had to abandon her corpse before its ritual mutilation had been completed.
More alarming still, the night's second victim, Catherine Eddowes, was, according to Sickert, killed in error. It was learned that poor Catherine had for some time lived with a man called John Kelly, had often used his surname and so had been wrongly identified as the blackmailer-in-chief, Mary Kelly.
That mistake nearly led to the group's undoing. In the belief that this was to be the climactic move of their campaign, the group had already arranged Catherine's corpse, more completely mutilated than any of her predecessors, in Mitre Square opposite the Masonic Temple and close to the Whitechapel Road.
They had chalked on a nearby wall a Masonic slogan to act as a postscript to the whole sordid affair. A policeman copied it down into his notebook and it said:
"The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing."
Arriving on the scene Sir Charles Warren, to the acute surprise of his underlings, ordered that the chalked epitaph, presumed by observers to be in the killer's hand, should be immediately washed down and erased. The reason he gave was that he did not want anti-Jewish sentiment to be inflamed, but Sickert suggested the real reason was that too many insiders would recognize that the message referred not to the 'Jews' but to the 'Juwes' of Masonic legend, and would therefore identify the killers as Freemasons.
After this setback there was a pause of more than a month, the longest interval between the killings, while the group redoubled their efforts to find the real Mary Kelly. Meanwhile, rumours of the killer's associations with Freemasonry and with the Royal family continued to grow. It was not until the 9th November that Mary Kelly was finally tracked down. To use the coach again was deemed too dangerous now, so she was dispatched in her own Dorset Street lodgings, more bloodily mutilated than any of her fellow-conspirators, her throat slashed, her body brutally cut apart and her intestines arranged ritually about the room.
There is in existence a police drawing of the last person to be seen with Mary whilst she was still alive and this bears an uncanny resemblance to no less a person than Lord Randolph Spencer-Churchill himself. Of course, this particular 'lead' was never followed-up by the Masonic-controlled and run Metropolitan Police.
J.K. Stephen, again according to Abberline's diaries, actually went to the police, made a full confession and surrendered himself in a fit of guilt but of course no arrests were made and Stephen was also released without charge. Abberline resigned his position with the force and retired forthwith as a direct result of his disgust at the inaction and cover-up on the part of the police. Indeed there are still files in existence in Scotland Yard that have been sealed forever to prevent the truth from ever being revealed.
When Prince Eddy found out that his wife had been lobotomised he had a nervous breakdown and was never the same again thereafter.
Sickert fled the country upon hearing the news of Annie Crook's abduction and took up residence in Dieppe, France in an attempt to protect the child, Alice. When Alice grew up, she and Walter became lovers and in turn had a child themselves who went by the name of Joseph Sickert - the very same man who kept Inspector Abberline's diaries unpublicised for 50 years after inheriting them from his father.
THE BIZARRE FATE OF PRINCE EDDY
In the meantime, Prince Eddy, his mental health by now completely shattered, was given into the care of the Earl of Strathmore who owned Glamis Castle in Scotland. The royal family then blatantly lied to the world and announced that Eddy had sadly passed away at the age of only 28, on the 14th January 1892 due to influenza, but of course Eddy was still alive and being held in Balmoral Castle having not yet made the final move to Glamis.
Balmoral is approximately 1000 feet (300 metres) above sea-level and as such is partly surrounded by steep cliffs. This was the intended site for the planned murder of Eddy to be undertaken by Randolph Churchill and John Netley the coachman. The prince was pushed from the cliff-top but somehow managed to survive his fall and after the passage of two days had endeavoured to crawl all the way back to Balmoral where he was found at the door by his disbelieving hosts.
It was decided after this that the best option would be to just incarcerate him at Glamis for the rest of his life and the Earl of Strathmore agreed to undertake this task on behalf of the royals in return for one simple favour. The favour he stipulated was that one of his daughters be allowed to marry a future king of England.
Poor Eddy died in 1933, forty one years after his 'official' death date and during this time, his mother visited him only once, but took a photograph of him which she apparently sent to her cousin. This photograph is still in existence and shows a much older Eddy thoughtfully painting a picture which would sadly never be seen by anyone outside the walls of Glamis Castle.
The pact between Strathmore and the royal family was eventually fulfilled in 1923 when Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (his daughter, b. 1900) married the future King George VI of England after originally being betrothed to his brother, the former King Edward VIII (he of abdication fame).
In 1936 George ascended the throne upon his elder brother's abdication and Elizabeth became his queen consort. Elizabeth of course was more commonly known as the Queen Mother and the mother of the current incumbent of the family firm, Queen Elizabeth the second. She went to her grave in 2002 without ever revealing the secret and thus the world was never aware of this unholy pact.
Princess Diana was also a member of the 'Spencer' dynasty, a family that has pledged to serve the monarchy for generations. She shared a common ancestry with Lord Randolph and Winston Churchill. Randolph was also known to be a proficient and efficient occult practitioner. It was he who had carefully draped the organs of the murder victims, over the left shoulder in accordance with occult, Masonic ritual.
This then is the real story of Jack the Ripper, straight from the 'horse's mouth' . These facts must be known by the current establishment but as always, they close ranks to prevent the truth from becoming known. All of the multiplicity of theories that abound as to the identity of the killer and the many films, documentaries and TV programmes that portray an unending search for the 'truth' are nothing more than elaborate smokescreens, born from the deliberate confusion engendered by the Elite to protect the guilty, as is their usual modus operandi. This is another tiny example of how easy it is for these psychopaths to provide us all with a completed distorted view of both the past and our existing reality.
A further legacy of this sorry affair was that the payoff for the Spencers was two terms as Prime Minister for Lord Randolph's son and two generations later, Lady Diana Spencer became the wife of the future King Charles III and mother to the future King William V and his brother Harry, only to be famously discarded once she had produced an 'heir and a spare.' In 1997, she was brutally and ritually murdered herself in Paris.

The Jack the Ripper Conspiracy
http://www.shout.net/~bigred/cn.html
(Melchizedek Communique, MC033011) An enormously successful silk-weaving industry was located in London's East End. Then about 1860 the "Free Trade" notions came to the fore. A "Free Trade" policy was introduced. "The effect on the British silk industry was catastrophic: in 1854 50,000 people in East London were employed in the silk industry; by 1880 the figure had shrunk to just 3,300." The word "unemployed" came first to be used as a noun circa 1882. The word "unemployment" was born in 1888, coincident to the savage Jack the Ripper crimes. Deteriorating social conditions caused by the "Free Trade" helped cause many desperate women to turn to prostitution to survive. [1] And thus did "Free Trade" provide the hunting grounds for Jack the Ripper.
Like Adolph Hitler, Jack the Ripper is a sort of ultimate symbol for human evil. Various books have claimed to solve the savage knife-attack crimes which shook London in 1888. Fascination with the case involves the Victorian era, setting for the enormously popular Sherlock Holmes stories. What dark secrets lie hidden underneath the fog of stiff upper lip Victorian respectability?
Sir Charles Warren, Commissioner of Metropolitan Police during the Ripper carnage, was a staunch Freemason and "Founding Master" of Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076, in 1884. Warren is the only senior official at Scotland Yard to have definitely stated later that the police knew who Jack the Ripper really was. [1]
There are troubling hints of collusion between the police and government and the brothel keepers and "white slavers." A "Mrs. Jeffries", the madame of one brothel, came under scrutiny. Evidence was obtained showing an aristocratic clientele, including Leopold, King of the Belgians and Edward, Prince of Wales. In the Summer of 1885, the Pall Mall Gazette began to expose "the sordid sink of immorality and vice that had spread its corruption through the highest levels of society." Articles by W.T. Stead were generally called "The Maiden Tribute to Modern Babylon." Wrote Stead, "If the daughters of the people must be served up as dainty morsels to the passions of the rich, let them at least attain an age when they can understand the nature of the sacrifice which they are asked to make." [2]
The mystery of who was "Jack the Ripper" bloomed in the 1960s. Various theories occupy the time of armchair detectives. Among the most popular theories is called "The Masonic Conspiracy": Was "Saucy Jack" a member of the British royal family? An "offshoot theory" of The Masonic Conspiracy points to Walter Sickert, a famous artist, as the villain. Authoress Patricia Cornwell, in her 2002 book, Portrait Of A Killer, uses modern forensic techniques unknown in Victorian times to support the conclusion that Walter Sickert was indeed Jack the Ripper.
The Sickert offshoot of The Masonic Conspiracy angle is summarized by Paul Begg in his even-handed Jack the Ripper: The Definitive History (London: Pearson Education Ltd., 2003). A Joseph Gorman, alias Joseph Sickert, claimed to be the unacknowledged son of Walter Sickert, suspected Ripper. Joseph Gorman surfaced and told BBC researchers (later researched by journalist Stephen Knight) what may have been the true facts. Prince Albert Victor, a British royal, and Walter Sickert were chums. Visiting at Sickert's artist studio, Prince Albert chanced to encounter one Annie Crook. The prince, it is claimed, secretly married Ms. Crook, a commoner and a Catholic. The British establishment allegedly dissolved the union by sending Annie Crook to an insane asylum and sending Prince Albert Victor off to India. But some women from the East End had evidence of the wedding and of a child fathered from the marriage. These women attempted to blackmail the British upper class parties involved. Allegedly, to silence these troublemakers, certain Freemasons were turned to.
(WARNING: Some squeamish depiction follows. If you are fairly sensitive, then you are advised to read no further.)
Other suspects include James Maybrick, a crazed arsenic addict who fled to America and whose purported diary was later discovered; "Kosminski" (Aaron Kosminski or Aaron Davis Cohen), committed to a lunatic asylum; Lord Randolph Churchill, father of Winston Churchill, who was called by Queen Victoria "so mad and odd"; and even Charles Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland!
This last suspect, Lewis Carroll, is possibly revealed by anagrams found in his writings. So, for example, in The Nursery Alice (the children's version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) is found: "So we went to the cook, and we got her to make a saucerful of nice oatmeal porridge. And then we called Dash into the house, and we said, 'Now, Dash, you're going to have your birthday treat!' We expected Dash would jump for joy; but it didn't, one bit!" An article in Harper's magazine from November 1996 rearranges the above to reveal the following macabre message:
"Oh, we, Thomas Bayne, Charles Dodgson, coited into the slain, nude body, expected to taste, devour, enjoy a nice meal of a dead whore's uterus. We made do, found it awful -- wan and tough like a worn, dirty, goat hog. We both threw it out -- Jack the Ripper." [3]
Some say, "Many false trails were laid." This may be why the bloodthirsty case of Jack the Ripper seems beyond solution. But what powerful, unseen hand might have had a motive to create those false trails?

'In Search Of The Great Beast 666'
Aleister Crowley, self proclaimed "The Great Beast" and known by the press as "The Wickedest Man in the World", was perhaps the most controversial and notorious individuals in British History. This dramatically reconstructed film unearths the barely believable and shocking facts surrounding a man who was voted in a BBC poll to be one of the most influential Britons of all time.
Was he related to US President George Bush? How was he connected to the founder of Scientology, NASA, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jack the Ripper, Winston Churchill, Ian Fleming and how did this Occultist, Spy, Poet, Writer and accomplished Mountaineer come to know and influence so many other remarkable people?

Historian claims to ID Jack the Ripper

Historian claims to ID Jack the Ripper
By CELEAN JACOBSON, Associated Press Writer
Wed May 2, 2007
An eminent South African historian believes he has stumbled on the identity of Jack the Ripper.
Charles van Onselen said at first he wasn't sure he wanted to publicize the conclusions he drew when he noticed parallels in the century-old, unsolved Ripper case and the background of Joseph Silver, who terrorized women as "King of the Pimps" in Johannesburg.
"I was left with a choice: I have got intelligent speculation, which I think is pretty long way down the track to proving that this guy was the Ripper. Do I include or exclude it?
"If I include it, it buggers up the book and people get excited for the wrong reasons. If I exclude it and a really sharp professional spots it ... I had to explore this possibility," he said, sitting in his tree-filled garden, about 3 miles from where Silver reigned, in a city still regarded as one of the most crime-ridden in the world.
The publicity around van Onselen's "The Fox and The Flies: The World of Joseph Silver, Racketeer and Psychopath", published in April, has made much of Silver being Jack the Ripper, the notorious Victorian serial killer who murdered at least five East London prostitutes in 1888.
But van Onselen, an acclaimed biographer who specializes in South Africa's criminal history and who took nearly three decades to research the book, only makes his Ripper case in the final 25th chapter, written in the last 36 months.
While the book has been well-received, reaction from "Ripperologists" has been skeptical as van Onselen makes his case on circumstantial evidence.
To his doubters the author said: "How many coincidences do you want to mount up in your mind simultaneously until you start saying this is a real possibility?"
Scores of people have been accused of the Ripper murders, but no one has ever been proven guilty and London police put the number of most likely suspects at just four, among them a poor Whitechapel resident named Kosminski who, like Silver, was a Polish Jew. At the time, Londoners speculated the killer was Jewish, leading to fears of an anti-Jewish backlash.
Van Onselen believes Silver fits the psychological profile of the Whitechapel murderer and he places his subject at the center of the scene of the Ripper murders. The evidence that Silver was in Whitechapel at the time of the Ripper murders includes the birth of his daughter there, van Onselen said.
As pimp and brothel keeper, Silver would have been familiar with the prostitutes working in the area, van Onselen said.
Silver, who was born in Poland, arrived in Johannesburg in 1898 fresh from a stint in Sing Sing for burglary and a stay in London a decade earlier. Shortly after arriving in Johannesburg, Silver set up a string of cafes, cigar shops and police-protected brothels.
Silver was litigious, wrote bold letters to newspapers and had an array of mocking aliases, van Onselen said. Jack the Ripper is believed to have taunted police with brazen letters to the papers.
Van Onselen, the son of a detective, tracked Silver across Africa, the Americas and Europe, "staggered by how mobile this guy was." In the end, Silver was executed as a spy in Poland in 1918.
Van Onselen points to similarities between the subject of his book and the Whitechapel murderer, both psychopaths with a deep hatred of women. Silver had bitter, violent relationships with women all his life.
"In terms of a template for this person, in terms of age, personality, mental illness, pattern for rest of life, this is the best fit there has ever been," he said.

Historian claims to ID Jack the Ripper
By CELEAN JACOBSON, Associated Press Writer
Wed May 2, 2007
An eminent South African historian believes he has stumbled on the identity of Jack the Ripper.
Charles van Onselen said at first he wasn't sure he wanted to publicize the conclusions he drew when he noticed parallels in the century-old, unsolved Ripper case and the background of Joseph Silver, who terrorized women as "King of the Pimps" in Johannesburg.
"I was left with a choice: I have got intelligent speculation, which I think is pretty long way down the track to proving that this guy was the Ripper. Do I include or exclude it?
"If I include it, it buggers up the book and people get excited for the wrong reasons. If I exclude it and a really sharp professional spots it ... I had to explore this possibility," he said, sitting in his tree-filled garden, about 3 miles from where Silver reigned, in a city still regarded as one of the most crime-ridden in the world.
The publicity around van Onselen's "The Fox and The Flies: The World of Joseph Silver, Racketeer and Psychopath", published in April, has made much of Silver being Jack the Ripper, the notorious Victorian serial killer who murdered at least five East London prostitutes in 1888.
But van Onselen, an acclaimed biographer who specializes in South Africa's criminal history and who took nearly three decades to research the book, only makes his Ripper case in the final 25th chapter, written in the last 36 months.
While the book has been well-received, reaction from "Ripperologists" has been skeptical as van Onselen makes his case on circumstantial evidence.
To his doubters the author said: "How many coincidences do you want to mount up in your mind simultaneously until you start saying this is a real possibility?"
Scores of people have been accused of the Ripper murders, but no one has ever been proven guilty and London police put the number of most likely suspects at just four, among them a poor Whitechapel resident named Kosminski who, like Silver, was a Polish Jew. At the time, Londoners speculated the killer was Jewish, leading to fears of an anti-Jewish backlash.
